Chapter 460: The Power to Kill Cultivators (2/2)

“Let’s try again!” Lu Yun took a deep breath. “Stand guard for me.”

The feng shui compass in his hand floated up again. Mo Yi took a stance next to the youth, snowflakes drifting purposefully around her to clear away the roving ghosts and spirits. With the two humans as the center, nothing came near them within a thirty meter radius, other than the human demon.

“Waugh—” An ear-piercing shriek suddenly rang out, shaking Lu Yun’s body and instantly dimming the light from his luopan. Blood seeped out of his orifices and the trails of snowflakes in the air briefly paused as well, disturbed from their original trajectories.

A pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened in the darkness. There was a human height separating the eyeballs from each other, as if a large being had lain on the ground and opened its eyes to gaze upon them.

“Waugh!” Lu Yun vomited a mouthful of blood when the strident screech came again. His bones had almost been shattered by that terrifying screech this time!

“What the hell is that?!?” He quickly crushed a medicine vial and swallowed the liquid within to somewhat tend to his injuries. He’d suffered a tremendous blow, but Mo Yi hadn’t sensed any energy ripples from her position next to him. The power that’d disturbed her snowflakes was different from the one that’d attacked Lu Yun.

“The power to kill cultivators,” the human demon said ponderously. “Where I guard houses a restriction against immortals. It can kill immortals, while the power here can slay cultivators. Any who are not yet an immortal will be executed by it.

“As I have obtained two heavenly mandates, I can somewhat control the restriction against immortals, but I cannot yet affect this power that impacts cultivators.”

His appearance had undergone changes at some unknown point in time, shifting from the form of the Exalted Celestial Emperor to a miniature version of the form he’d taken when battling Scarlet Ape in Dusk.

Currently, severe gravity crossed his face. “I did not allow you into the tomb due to the presence of this mysterious power. It kills cultivators in an instant.”

“What if… what if this tomb was destroyed? What would happen then?” A sudden tremor overtook Lu Yun and his voice shook.

“If the tomb is destroyed, this power will encompass all of the land where the emperor fell. All cultivators caught within would be destroyed in an instant.” The human demon frowned.

“This ancient tomb has a very long history, and even the immortal emperor in the Primordial Era couldn’t do anything to it. Can the formation you mentioned really destroy it?” Mo Yi looked at Lu Yun.

“The feng shui can’t be wrong.” Lu Yun nodded. “If we don’t alter the feng shui here, the tomb will be set on the path of destruction. Perhaps it’ll cave in on itself, or some outside force will crush it into the ground…”

The enormous eyes of scarlet in the darkness were fixed unblinkingly on Lu Yun. This was a power that could easily snap cultivators out of existence, but it’d failed to destroy this young man. The energy either came from the eyes themselves, or their master, and its failure prompted a bit of wariness.

Setting the strange power aside, what Lu Yun needed to do was to bypass the blockade and enter where the tomb owner was buried so he could destroy the feng shui layout.

“Feinie, the Formation Orb,” he murmured. The complete yin-yang combination of the softly glowing Formation Orb landed in his hands in the next moment.
